The book STEM CELL THERAPY FOR ORGAN FAILURES edited by Dr. S. Indumathi demonstrates the In
Vitro and In vivo therapeutic strategies and applications of pre- and post-natal stem cells for
treating the failures of various organ systems of our body in a wide perspective. It explores
the past present and the futuristic approach of the exciting field of stem cells and its
intriguing properties involved in tissue repair and regeneration. The prime focus of this
volume is to unravel the basic advanced therapeutic and translational approaches put-forth so
far in the field of stem cells and regenerative medicine at research pre-clinical and clinical
levels. Stem cells has ushered in widespread interest and exciting possibilities for cell based
therapies albeit failures do prevail and small uncontrolled phase I II studies are only
signals generating rather than definite proof of concept thereby limiting its applicability in
curative therapeutics. Despite certain initiatives and meticulous untiring efforts bringing
this basic bench side research into advanced transitional bedside remained a challenge. Thus
this book embarked upon the expanding researches in these areas that seem decisive in
improvising regenerative medical therapeutics thereby leading to further path-breaking studies
that cure all health challenges facing mankind. Overall this book reveals the imperativeness
of various stem cell sources and its utility in curative therapeutics.
